Jimmy Carter hasn't received CAR-T therapy afaik, but he's gotten other recently developed immuno modulatory anticancer therapy --pd1 inhibitors-- and I suspect that's a big reason for him still being alive.
I can say the same for a family friend who probably had 6 months to live w advanced prostate cancer (this was about ten yrs ago). Shortly after his prognosis a new prostate cancer drug--xtandi-- was approved and he lived another 5 years.
Many anticancer drugs have incremental benefit, but some recent advancements have been revolutionary.
